About to reach 1 billion

[MrPinkPanther]

On the appstore the counter has reached:
999,210,604

Its going to reach 1 billion on the next few hours :D

[Kyle!]

Great! I hope I win, but I'm normally terribly unlucky so it's very unlikely. Oh well, we can hope! :P

[MrPinkPanther]

999,515,304. So close

[Recursion]

I don't get it.. LOL

EDIT: Oh I see... what a con.

[Turbocom]

999,587,700

Son of a I hope I win.

[Andys]

does the person who gets the 1,000,000,000th download win?

[Recursion]

Yes. $10000, a fully loaded MBP, a Time capsule, a HDD and a 32GB iPod Touch.

IMO it's a con to get everyone to buy more, they can then hit 1 Billion downloads and boast about it to everyone.

[no waiii]

do free apps count as downloads? lol

[Andys]

do free apps count as downloads? lol
yes:):):):)

[hamheyelliot]

The 1 Billionth download doesn't actually win anything as far as I can see;
But there's a prize draw for all the stuff mentioned..

Plus it's no download necessary, so you can enter on the Apple website.

"The potential winner will be determined by the order of the entries received. In the event that more than one entrant would be a winner based on the simultaneous timing of entries, one entrant will be randomly selected from those entrants as the winner. Each entrant’s chances of winning are dependent upon the number of eligible entries received."

Ummm?

Ha ha, the app store one seems to update every couple of mins which leaves me to believe its real and not the other one which sometimes seems to suddenly go down when you refresh it.

Ummm?

That's rubbish, they should of just selected the winner randomly.

[MrPinkPanther]

********. I saw it go to a few hundred below 1 billion. I should have downloaded one of them then. I would have stood a decent chance.
